Tell the FBI: Don't map me or my community!

Tell the FBI: Don't map me or my community!

The Issue

The FBI, America's most powerful law enforcement agency, is collecting racial and ethnic information and "mapping" American communities around the country based on crude stereotypes about which groups commit different types of crimes. Nationwide, the FBI is gathering reports on innocent Americans' so-called "suspicious activity" and sharing it with unknown numbers of federal, state and local government agencies.

Ask the Attorney General to limit FBI intelligence gathering to true threats rather than wasting precious resources by investigating innocent Americans and mapping communities based on racial stereotypes and suspicion without evidence.

Help put an immediate end to the FBI's unconstitutional use of racial profiling to map American communities.
